Kill with a Borrowed Knife: Using External Forces to Eliminate Enemies
借刀杀人：巧用外力除敌
English Prompt:
The Third Stratagem: Kill with a Borrowed Knife
The enemy is clear, but the ally is undecided. Lure the ally to attack the enemy, avoiding the need to expend one’s own strength, as deduced from the principle of "Diminishment" in the *I Ching*.
When the enemy’s intentions are revealed, and another force is growing stronger, poised to take action, one should leverage this force to destroy the enemy. An example is Zigong’s strategy to preserve Lu, destabilize Qi, weaken Wu, and strengthen Jin.
